“Hey where have you guys been?” you may be thinking to yourself. Well, we’ve been productive, believe it or not! We’re taking hibernation a little early this year to focus on writing and releasing a record sometime in the not-so-distant future. So far, we’ve got a fistful of songs that have been going through a pretty extensive demo process – we’re pretty psyched at the results. To keep up with our process, follow our Instagram handles where documentation of short drone feedback loops and blurry pictures of microphones are aplenty:

In other Velah news, Jen has a new creative venture. Ever wonder who makes that rad jewelry she wears? The ones that seem to give her mythical powers? Well, Jen herself does! Check out her new online store for her line,Steluma, of Amulets and Talisman , here.

So that’s that. We’ll be cocooned for a while working on these new songs, so keep us in your heart until we resurface this Spring.

Our Friends, Allston Pudding, have put together a Boston Marathon Mixtape of which the proceeds will go directly to the One Fund. There are over 100 artists on here (including us) and it only costs $1 (or more if you feel up to it).

We don’t need to go into the events or why you should donate, but this is a great way to get involved and get some great music at the same time (but we know the fuzzy feeling you’ll get from donating will be enough).
